Rainy Day Simplicity

Wednesday, August 30th, 2006

Another day of dismal weather. Today is recovery day from two previous mornings of having to wake up early.After Dad and I got back from restocking the fridge and pantry a bit, my brain was hungry and commanded my body to fix something up.In the mood for something savory and ...

Balancing Food

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006

I was short-changed at Space Market. I stood there calculating it in my head, three times. Yeah, it's definitely not right.The interesting thing about being short-changed lately (it happened before a few weeks ago somewhere else) is that my brain seems to know when something it's quite right. It's strange.Anyway, ...

Untoasted Bagels

Monday, August 28th, 2006

It turns out that we had bagels today on two separate occasions. What can I say? Great palates taste alike? Wait, no that sounds like a case of mono waiting to happen.Anyway, in between finishing up at the hospital and going to meet up with Ian, I got hungry. This ...

Egg Poaching: Green Eggs and…Turkey

Friday, August 25th, 2006

Missing Italy…Some More

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

During my stay in Boston, we went to Quincy Market on a Friday. As our aunt pointed out, a lot of produce vendors, mostly selling fruit, sell their goods on Fridays and weekends just a street away from the Market.What's more is that they're usually very fresh, ripe and cheap.We ...
